With Wolves, Bears, Wolverines and Lynx on the rebound in Europe, Researchers are making the case that even in people dominated small landscapes, Carnivores can adapt to human presence and fulfill their historical ecosystem services benefits to the land............114 years ago at the turn of the 20th century, large carnivores had been exterminated from most of Europe, with just relict populations persisting............Contrast that today in 2014 when we have increasing or stable populations of brown bears, wolves, Eurasian lynx and wolverines sharing the land with humans........And they do not live in a remote wilderness but rather are showing an ability to adapt to human-dominated landscapes..............As a point of fact, Europe has twice as many wolves as the USA (excluding Alaska) in spite of being half the size and more than twice as densely populated

Europe shows that humans and large

 predators can share the same landscape
